Book of short stories -- surprisingly good, I wasn't expecting much. Wity, sad, and thought provoking.

A wonderful collection of stories that will amuse, touch, and move you! This was another of my "impulse buys"; books I pick up because they are too cheaply priced to leave sitting on the shelf, but I'm glad I got this one and took the time to read it. I don't normally care for short stories because they usually end just as I'm getting interested, but each story in this book felt completely fleshed out to me. I thoroughly enjoyed each story.

This book ended up being a happy surprise for me!

Short Stories by a young author. I guess it was OK--not really the kind of book I generally like. Very witty with "tell-it-like-it-is" characters.
